Bill O’Brien could be on his way back to the NFL.

The New England Patriots’ 2022 season was always going to be defined by how well they faced the league’s elite teams, with the Buffalo Bills being the biggest measuring stick of them all. Buffalo dominated New England in its final two meetings last season, including a 47-17 playoff rout in which the Patriots were embarrassed […]

FOXBOROUGH — The New England Patriots were without a key player in their first practice back since losing to the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night.

The New England Patriots fell to 6-5 on the season with their 33-26 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Thanksgiving night.

Julian Edelman is a Patriot for life, though it was almost not the case after he nearly left the New England Patriots back in 2013. The former Patriots wideout admitted as much in his recent documentary with NFL Films titled “A Football Life.” Edelman revealed that he thought of leaving the team at the time […]

The NFL’s slate of Thanksgiving games was one of the best in recent memory this year. The Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions kicked the day off with a game that went down to the wire, then the Dallas Cowboys upended the division rival New York Giants in the late afternoon game. Even with all that […]

Several people thought Hunter Henry caught his second touchdown pass of the game in the middle of the third quarter in the New England Patriots’ 33-26 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night. However, following a several-minute-long review, Henry’s catch on third-and-goal was wiped off the board as it was determined he didn’t have […]

The New England Patriots ended up losing 33-26 to the Minnesota Vikings on Thanksgiving night, thanks in large part to Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson’s exploits.

Thanksgiving season is upon us and yet New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick will find it difficult to name things he’s grateful for in the immediate aftermath of the Patriots’ 33-26 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. In fact, instead of being thankful, feelings of vindictiveness may be the dominant emotion in Belichick’s mind, especially […]

What a way for the Minnesota Vikings to rebound from their sorry loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 11. Kirk Cousins and the Vikings, who scored just three points in the Cowboys game, were much more lethal Thursday night versus the New England Patriots offensively on their way to a 33-26 victory against a […]

Nelson Agholor probably shouldn’t hop on Twitter, at least for the moment.

Thanksgiving is upon us, and there will be plenty of debate once more about the merit of the holiday given its origin.

FOXBOROUGH – After undergoing a “full audit” of himself during his team’s bye week, New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones felt like he improved in some areas but left some room to be desired in other areas in Sunday’s 10-3 win over the New York Jets.
